Justin Bieber Juggles Lemons, Meets Fan Who Listened to His Music During MRIs + More on ‘Bethenny’
Justin Bieber appeared on ‘Bethenny,’ the shockingly entertaining talk show of Bethenny Frankel, a ‘Real Housewife of the New York City’ sort. She is a surprisingly engaging, frank and candid interviewer who gamely tried to yank more details out of the Biebs, who, while we love him, isn’t always the most frank and candid interviewee.
